Rio Olympics 2016: Today’s action as Team GB’s big hitters Tom Daley and Louis Smith go for medals on day three
Day two was full of excitment but Monday promises a day of action-packed sport filled to the brim with British talent
AFTER yesterday's heroics in day two of the Rio Olympic games, Team GB are finally on the board as swimmer raced to a sensational record-breaking gold medal in the 100 metres breaststroke.
Quickly following this win came team-mate Jazz Carlin, who claimed her own medal with silver in the 400m freestyle, just 14 minutes after golden boy Peaty.
However, this is only the beginning of the Brit action with even more Team GB stars on show today as Rio enters its third action-packed day.
